It often happens that we buy a new apartment and immediately make repairs in it. Then, we buy and arrange the necessary furniture. After a while, we buy other interior items: curtains, mirrors, shelves, carpets. Sometimes the furnishings of the house are replenished over the course of several years. As a result, looking closely, we notice that the color of the walls does not quite match the surroundings.
A single item looks very good, but if you look at the big picture, you get some kind of disharmony and bad taste. We will tell you how to approach the design of the premises so that the color of the walls blends perfectly with the furniture and interior items?
Preparing to decorate rooms
Long before the repair and re-decoration of the rooms, you should see the whole picture of the design - the combination of the color of the walls, furniture and accessories. How to do it? The combination of colors and shades can be combined on the table or on the floor. Buy paint samples from the store. If possible, borrow a catalog of wallpapers from the store where you are going to buy them.
- In the same way, get samples of fabrics for curtains, bedspreads, furniture parts, floor covering elements.
- If you are not going to glue the wallpaper, but will paint the wall, then paint several squares of paper or plywood in different colors and apply them to different samples of fabrics and coatings.
- Put it all in one place and try different combinations of colors and shades. How does the wallpaper fit in with the furniture or flooring in a given room? How do the curtains match the color of the walls? Gradually, you will have a clear picture of a harmonious combination of colors before your eyes, and you will know exactly how your room will look.
- If it is not possible to get samples and coating elements, just take a picture of them and work on the combination of colors on the computer screen.
How to choose colors for individual rooms
Interior designers, when decorating rooms, divide colors into warm, cold and neutral. With the help of colors, you can change the atmosphere of the room, making it brighter and warmer or more restrained and cold. There are two border colors that convey the atmosphere directly, without midtones. These are bright orange (sometimes sunny yellow) and cold dark blue.
Orange or yellow are warm sunny colors. Blue is the color of coolness.By experimenting with primary colors and their shades, you can significantly change the atmosphere of any room. Before decorating rooms in certain colors, you should decide on their purpose and how they will affect the emotional background of their inhabitants.
For example, the room of a very active and mobile child should not be decorated with bright colors. From them, the nervous system of the child will be overexcited. He will have difficulty falling asleep and concentrating during classes. Conversely, the room of a quiet and secluded child should not be decorated in cold blue colors. Light, light colors are more suitable for him. Ideal yellow or pale green.
Bedroom decoration
Since the bedroom is a place not only for nighttime, but also for daytime rest, the color palette is chosen to be more moderate and dark. But it shouldn't be completely dark. The bedroom should have large windows and good lighting. A good rest and relaxation is facilitated by decorating the bedroom in pastel colors, if dark colors are not to your liking.
